Pattaya Reports

[Allover]

You are obviously a very thoughtful person. Hell I almost started crying when I read this. At the end of the day she is in Pattaya for money. The flowers and chocolates are cool but don't pay the bills. Some girls there would be more appreciative of your kindness to be sure. But it's all about the money for the overwhelming majority of these girls.

[Horatio]

""""My plan was to take her to eat something, go to a disco and then come back to the hotel to see if she was better in bed after a few drinks. Then in the morning I would give her the opportunity to show her hand by saying something like "I know you said you like me and probably don't want any money, but if you need help with money then I can help you". At which point she could ask for anywhere between 0 and 5000 (LT is definitely not 6000!) If she asked for nothing, then I would have considered being intrigued.""""
"

She works for money. I don't understand why you think you should be able to change that without her input. She might like you and you might be one of her enjoyable customers, but you are still a customer.

" goal for me is not so much the sex, but the experience."

You are paying someone who expects money for sex and you are trying g to change that without her input. The first time I had a bargirl this trip, I tried to make it a big GFE. We went to a Buddhist temple had a nice lunch etc, but in the end it was for naught. She wasn't a girlfriend and it was just a commercial transaction.

The bargirl I see a lot now is a really great GFE. But I pay her at the end of every session. I think she really does have affection for me. I am sweet to her and she is sweet to me. But again that is part of a money transaction. I think it crazy and kind of wrong to try and unilaterally change it into something that does not end with her being paid.

Just my opinion for what it's worth. I enjoyed your post and look forward to reading more.

Hi all,

This is part 3, following on from my previous post, this one is musings about gogo girls. The same disclaimer, these are my experiences and opinions, I do not claim they are definitive or will match everyone's experience. There is no substitute for reading more of these forums and making your own opinions in the field.

A lot of this may be subjective, but I hope it will generate some discussion to hear other opinions and experiences. I do have a few questions. But more of that later. Where to start?

The gogo girls' obsession with lady drinks. A never-ending source of frustration. I never understood why even when I said "here is a tip, stop it with the lady drinks" still, lady drink, lady drink. So I set out to get to the bottom of this. How does it work? Turns out a common system in gogo bars is a 10-day work contract for which a girl gets paid a salary of around 10,000. But there is a catch, to get the full 10,000 she must have 50 lady drinks in 10 days. If she has less, then she gets a penalty for each drink she is short. If she has more, she gets a small bonus for each drink extra.

So there you have it, if your girl is pushing like crazy for lady drinks, she is probably trying to make her quota. If you are trying to barfine a girl LT at 9 pm but she wants to have a few drinks first, that's why. And sometimes if she is really behind, she will not want to be barfined, but stay to try to make her drinks. It might seem like 5 drinks a night is an easy deal, and sure, for a popular girl in a busy gogo, no problem; on a good day, some can make 30 drinks. However, if two or three nights were slow, two or three nights she got barfined early, then all of a sudden things get tight.

That makes some sense, but then I wondered why buying drinks for the girl is not enough, immediately after you buy a drink you move on to "this my sister, buy drink for her", "this my best friend, buy drink for her", "this waitress my friend, buy drink for her", "oh, mamasan, she very nice, buy drink for her". And the next night, same girl, but new sister and best friend. This is basically the drinks mafia, she gets her guys to buy drinks for her friends, her friends get their guys to buy drinks for her, everyone wins, apart from you. Just keep in mind she has to be seen to ask for drinks for others, but if it is you who says no, then at least she tried and she doesn't lose favor.

I guess drinks for waitress and mamasan are just to get into their good books. The waitress and the mamasan seem to be equally happy with a small tip instead of a drink; I suppose they just earn a small amount for each drink they get, so a tip is just as good to them, but you can save a lot. Don't get me wrong, if your girl has a hot friend, or you want to have a party, or be nice to the mamasan (not a bad idea), then go right ahead. Just know what is happening.

I mentioned the 10-day contract, some girls may take a day or two off in between, some may move on to the next 10-day contract immediately. So if you have a favourite, you could try to line up your visit and spend some time with her between contracts. But this is not always up to the girl, the bar / mamasan also has to agree and it has to line up with the bar schedule and roster. There is competition to work in the top gogos and they call the shots.

Worth noting here, I think it was also mentioned recently in the forums, if you meet a girl on her day off in the bar where she normally works and you want to take her with you, you will have to pay the barfine. Some crazy convoluted logic there.

Each gogo has its own set of rules and there are often fines associated with breaking the rules. This is why you will hear a girl complain her feet hurt, but she will never take off her shoes, or why she will scramble to the stage when it's her turn to dance. The mamasan is always looking for transgressions.

What are the rules around the barfine? The mamasan will always ask you if you want to take the girl ST or LT and certainly the girl will ask you. However, the barfine does not change with your answer, so even if it seems the girl has to return to the bar after ST, make no mistake, once you pay the barfine the girl is under no obligation to return that night.

Girls will use that excuse to finish up ST as quickly as possible, "mamasan wait for me, have go back, big fine", but there is no such thing. They either want to go party or go back to the bar to make more drinks and try to get barfined again. I heard about a super popular girl in a bar, that sometimes she can go with three guys ST on the same night. Not a bad effort when the bar is open between 9:30 pm and 3 am. It was said with a lot of envy, so I would believe it. And she was pretty damn hot, too!

So how much does and can a gogo dancer earn? Well, if she works for a month in a gogo with a similar salary to what I mentioned and just makes her 50 drink quota each time, then 30,000. If on top of that she goes out for ST 2-3 times a week, then that's another 30,000. At least half of which is tax free. Not sure how good gogos are at declaring income for their girls, but even if they are on top of it for the full salary, the tax would still only be around 200 a month! So that brings us to 59,800 a month, after tax. .

Not a bad deal considering average monthly salary in Thailand is around 10-13,000. Sources vary here, but you get the idea. And what is the average salary in the poorer, Northern part of Thailand where most of the girls are from?

One could make the argument a girl may not get barfined 2-3 times per week. All I will say to that is: my last visit was certainly during the low season and, even so, at 2:30 am, near closing time, the popular gogos had about a third of the girls they had at 10 pm. A few times I tried to catch a particular girl, but every time she was either barfined already or in the process of being barfined.

How much can a sexy girl earn in a busy bar in peak season? Well, let's just say more than you or me! So who should be buying the drinks?

Just to be clear, not claiming every girl in Pattaya makes that kind of money, but just creating a little perspective about girls who know what they are doing and are working in the right gogos. It might even be possible to make a good living without having sex, just being barfined sometimes to eat or dance. Or to do this job for a few months a year while putting oneself through university.

Yet they are still obsessed with money. And despite what they say, somehow it always comes back to the money. Some stories might be in order.

Met this girl in a gogo and really hit it off with her, you know, sometimes you just click, had a lot of fun together. But then I had to go back home. We kept in touch over the next two or three months until I could come back. She said she missed me, all that, but didn't ask for money, a good sign. Then a week or two before my next visit it was her birthday. She said she was really sad, she was alone, no presents, her family was far away.

Finally, I was able to go back, I didn't tell her exactly when I was coming, wanted to surprise her. I just made sure she wasn't going on holidays just as I visited. I arrived fairly late and went to see her at her bar, she was not there. So I checked out a few other bars, went back around 2 am, and there she was. Clearly she had been out ST earlier. She told me she was out to eat, a lie, but OK.

Barfined her and took her back to the hotel. On the way I bought her some flowers and told her I had a surprise for her birthday. I had candles in the room, chocolates and some presents. It was quite romantic. She cried, she said nobody did something so nice for her. We cuddled and she asked if I wanted to have sex. I said no, told her it was her night and she is not working. I just kissed her and she fell asleep in my arms.

In the morning we woke up late and same deal, I said I didn't want sex, that we will have plenty of time for it later. Instead we went to eat, she was very friendly, we talked about the rest of the holiday, and so on. Once we finished lunch, she said she had some things to do in the afternoon, but she can see me in the evening. I said great, here is 100 for motorbike. And then bombshell, "I stay with you long time, you give me 6000. " Of course!

To her it was completely normal I should pay her. It didn't occur to her that she had made her money for the night (with the ST she had earlier), that I barfined her at the end of the night, that we didn't have sex, but instead she got flowers, presents and lunch! She said I didn't love her if I didn't want to take care of her.

No, I most definitely didn't love her with that attitude!

And she was the kind of girl who would be barfined every night, not only 2-3 times a week, yet unable to recognise a special moment and look past the money.

An aside here, if she didn't like me and it was all business (fine by me! We didn't have sex and the presents I got for her were easily worth a few thousand. So even if she expected money just for her time, she'd already gotten enough out of it!

Another one, met her a few times on multiple trips, but she did not want to go out barfine, said she is looking for someone serious, so met her outside work, no sex, no money, just talking. Then finally I said I wanted to barfine her and I will not accept any excuses. She agreed. I didn't specify ST or LT, she didn't ask, mamasan didn't ask.

It was early in the evening, went back to the hotel, had some good but not extraordinary sex (far from GFE). That was about two hours and by now around midnight. She was hungry, so I said, sure, let's go out to get some food. Then she says, "You pay me now. Long time. 6000. " Of course!

Really? Why put in so much effort to talk to me and then do that? I mean, at this stage, if it is all fake then you are playing the long game, get the stupid farang to send you money every month for you to "stop working" in the bar. And you certainly don't ask for LT money after ST!

My plan was to take her to eat something, go to a disco and then come back to the hotel to see if she was better in bed after a few drinks. Then in the morning I would give her the opportunity to show her hand by saying something like "I know you said you like me and probably don't want any money, but if you need help with money then I can help you". At which point she could ask for anywhere between 0 and 5000 (LT is definitely not 6000!) If she asked for nothing, then I would have considered being intrigued.

I told her I was disappointed she is asking for money even though I am not sending her away and she is asking for a stupid amount. I said I could only give her ST money before the morning and, all of a sudden, she remembered mamasan was waiting for her. Have no idea if she would have remembered the same thing if I gave her LT money!

Again, even if she didn't like me and it was all business, I wanted to barfine her the first time I met her, it was her who said no and started the whole saga. Doesn't make any sense!

They say don't fall in love with bar girls! Sound advice! Those stories were not me falling in love with bar girls, just me being bored and playing along to see what happens.

The story of an innocent girl who fell on hard times, was forced into this job and is just desperate for a man to rescue her, somehow does not fly. Read Private Dancer by Stephen Leather, it's fiction, but rather insightful into the mindset of lovestruck farangs and gogo dancers. It is no longer available for free download from the author's site (it was for a long time), but can still be found quite easily on other sites.

Following on, if gogo girls are crazy for money and asking top dollar for their services, then one might be forgiven for thinking they will also do everything to make their customers happy, maximising repeat business and referrals. But despite a good number of reports talking about girls who'll be up for anything and the reputation of Pattaya, my experience has been less than ideal. Not sure if I am doing something wrong, and what I am doing wrong; hopefully some people here can offer advice.

I've been mostly taking girls from the main gogos on Walking St and I lean towards cute and naughty rather than hot and slutty. That being said, I do make sure there is chemistry and look for signs of naughtiness. No point going with a girl who has no interest in you just because you like her. I also say I'm in town for the whole week even if I am leaving the next day, to make sure there is incentive for great performance. The signs are all good in the bar, but the problems start once in the room.

I like to have a drink, kiss the girl, take her clothes off slowly. But usually it's "I no like kissing, you shower". What about foreplay? Doing something naughty? Wearing something sexy? Getting the man in the mood? Put on some music and do a lap dance or a strip tease. You were going crazy in the bar with your hands all over me and putting my hands all over you, why not do the same and more in the room?

Then I like to shower with the girl and it's "no, I shy, you go, I shower after". After the shower, "I don't like blowjob", "you too big, my mouth small", after 30 seconds of barely sucking the tip, "I tired, you have condom?" During the main event, "you so big, it hurts", "why you so strong, why you no come? "you come now, na", "I no like sex long time". Many of them even want to avoid having an orgasm, and God forbid any mention of anal or sex toys.

Yes, I know, the girls will try their luck, you should pay no attention, and they will do the right thing. That's not the problem, the problem is: it completely destroys the mood. The goal for me is not so much the sex, but the experience. And the experience is gone the moment the bullshit starts. I mean, what the hell are you doing in this job if you don't like sex and you have no interest in actually pleasuring your man?

Bad experiences can happen everywhere, but generally the girl will do her best to at least pretend she is into whatever it is you want to do. And if you clicked with the girl when you met her, especially after a few drinks, she will be horny enough to not have to pretend. Once you're in the middle of it, nature takes its course. The only girls I had try to stop me when they were getting close to orgasm were Thai girls, all others were like "don't you fucking dare stop doing what you are doing!

I've seen other reports also mention reluctance on the part of the girls, but most reports seem to indicate satisfaction and girls who are pretty much up for anything. Where are these girls? Where are the girls who take pride in their work? Where are the girls who can give a proper BJ? Where are the PSEs? In reality more after naughty GFEs, but you get the idea.

I've tried taking the same girl more than once, to see if anything changed, if she got more relaxed or at least thought she might get a "boyfriend" out of it. Not much changed, if anything she just became possessive.

I've tried going to a less popular gogo, lowering my standards some, and picking a girl who showed interest. Found this tattooed girl who seemed promising. And she was promising until she showered and then started smelling like garlic or something, her breath, her skin, everything oozed of the stuff. That was a complete turn off.

I've tried taking a girl from the disco, she had amazing natural boobs and was hot, but did not give a proper blow job and wanted to stop the sex after a little while, said she doesn't like sex that lasts too long. Nightmare.

Pattaya is meant to be the land of pleasure and unspeakable acts. Would love some suggestions.

Pattaya Trip Report, Day 1 (Friday).

I left the potential Trophy Wife at BKK to fly home. We had an interesting time. She likes me and I am unsure about her. But anyway, I had booked a limo with Nam the lady driver for 1200 TB (you can find her online). I love Bell Transportation, but they stink with transportation from BKK to Pattaya. You can't buy tickets at BKK, and to get them online you have to buy several days in advance. I failed to meet the time window and besides, the departure times have always been bad for me. It seems the bus always leaves just when I am ready to go, and the next bus is 2 hours away.

I have tried limo service previously, but never heard back from anyone when I tried to schedule. Nam answered promptly and it was a good experience. Not sure the driver was any less aggressive, but I felt safe and the car was sufficiently comfortable, though my butt was getting sore after 90 minutes. The only real downside was the long walk from the terminal to the parking area. With a taxi, they are out there waiting for you.

I arrived at the Dynasty Inn at about 4 PM. I have liked this place due its central location, but it's shortcomings are apparent after spending 3 nights at the Hyatt in Bangkok! No more luxuriously comfortable bed. But it is still a good mongering hotel at a quarter of the price. I soon enough headed out to Soi 6, my favorite stomping grounds. As I walked down the street I was not overly impressed with any of the girls. But the quietness of the street got my attention. Due to this being the anniversary of the His Majesty the King's death, there was no music playing. It was still busy with people, and drinks were being sold, but it was quiet. I kind of liked it as I could carry on a conversation! So, after walking all the way down to the ocean side, I trun around and head back, trying to remember the names of several places where my favorites from last April were. But soon after turning around, a girl at Smoke and Mirrors was calling out to me and I realized it was Jieb. I documented my two encounters with her from last April. I remain amazed that these women seem to be able to recognize us dudes when most of them I can't remember the next day! But Jeib had been a pretty good provider, so I agreed to let her be my first of the trip. I had had no sexual releases for a while, so I was primed and pumped and knew that those dreadful condones would not be a hindrance this time.

Jieb, at least with those she knows and likes I guess, can be a wild woman. She gets this crazy look in her eye and becomes a sexually crazed GF. She was definitely giving a near GFE tonight. DFK, multiple positions and, yes, she got me to that orgasm-in-a-condom that will henceforth be elusive. I should add that Jieb is probably in her early 30's, now with black hair (she was blond last time), small to medium breasts that give some small disappointment when the padded bra comes off, pretty nice legs and with a tummy that is starting to show some age, but the skin and hair remain soft and great to touch. Not a looker or spinner, but still quite attractive and she is crazy wild in bed. Very much recommended. Costs were $300 BF, $200 for drinks for the two of us, $1,000 for her, plus I tipped her $100.

I went back to the hotel and decided to take a nap. I am still jet-lagged, and my time with the Trophy Wife candidate left me possibly even more jet lagged. I woke up at about 7 PM and went out for a bite, but I still felt tired so I took another nap, waking at 12:30 AM. This is actually a perfect time to go to WS, so off I went, finding it largely dark and quiet. There were a fair number of people, but the clubs and bars were all closed. The food places and other stores were open and doing some business, but the hordes of people were not there. The silence of the place was almost deafening, some might say. But the number of WS FL girls was above normal, and of course, WS was full of them. The girls have to do something to make money! After walking the entire WS I came back to the hotel, alone, and went back to sleep. There were nice FL prospects, but I am becoming more leery of FL girls, though I have not had any bad experiences.

So, for a quiet Day 1, I had just one girl, Jieb from Smoke and Mirrors for 300 BF, 1000 fee and 100 tip. Drinks for us both were 200.

Pattaya Pre-Trip Report.

I crossed the nation to visit various family members before arriving at LAX late Sunday night for the early morning departure to Bangkok via Taipai on EVA Airlines. I like EVA, having flown their Elite Class on my previous trips. For about $1,500 round trip, you get upgraded seating and food, and after 2 trips within a year, you get upgraded to Silver status and have access to the lounges. That is nice! Hanging around Taipei airport was the pits. The price is about double that of cattle class, but I am still amazed one can travel halfway across the world for even $1,500, so I hardly mind the added cost. Sheesh, some domestic airlines will charge that for a busy and popular trip only across the nation!

In making my reservations, I believed I had accumulated sufficient miles to upgrade one leg to Business class, but when I checked pricing, it appeared business class pricing was nearly cut in half! Slow season? I didn't know or care why, so I booked Business class! Reality struck when I got my credit card bill and the cost was twice what I expected, so how did I double book? Well, stupid me, I discovered what I thought was the round trip price was just for one leg. Ugh. I had book EVA 5 previous times and this was the first time I made that mistake! My head must have been thinking of sexy Thai girls when I hit the "buy now" button! I started to cancel and rebook for Elite class, but then I remembered looking at my 401 statement and decided I was old enough and I could well afford some luxury, so I stuck with business class. So I was excited about the trip, even having watched YouTube videos on EVA business class travel. And it was very nice to travel that way. I slept better and while the trip was hardly enjoyable, it was less of a drain than being in Elite class, and I can't imagine the trip in cattle class! Not at my age when the old bones start hurting if they are packed into a tight position.

Anyway, my mission this time is multifold. Number one is to sample the delightful Thai women, of course. Most of that will be in Pattaya, but I should get some done in Bangkok. Number two is to visit my virgin Thai GF and, yet again, see if that condition can be remedied. We made some progress last time, so can we complete the task this time? And if we finally do, or if we again don't, how will my relationship to her change? She is a sweetheart, and I either need to commit to her or break it off with her. As a male, I fear doing either, but I am getting old and the mongering will have to end before too many years go by regardless. Number 3 is to develop options with other women for potential lifetime partners if the virgin GF simply doesn't work out.

So, my first order of business upon arriving in Bangkok will be to meet a potential Trophy Wife. I met her on Thai Cupid and thought she was too good to be true. She is hot, classy and appears to actually like me. Or is it my money? I may write a report about my time with her later. I will spend 3 nights with her. I am not sure if sex will be offered with her, but she is worth trying with. I have both good and bad feelings with her, but this is a bit off topic.

In addition to her, I met several others girls from Thai Cupid. One I will meet in Pattaya. She works in a store there and seems desperate to see me. Her over-enthusiasm may do her in, though. That and she has a kid. I am too old to deal with little kids. At best, I will show her a good time in exchange for sex. I may meet one or two other Thai Cupid girls back in Bangkok later. I don't really see any chance of either becoming my GF, but they are both sad and loney, one not having been with a man for years, and she appears she may be ready. Maybe not, but I may give it a try. Best case for them is a good time and memories with a "rich" American. For me, best case is bareback sex with some real, horny the&DF girls.

So, the basic schedule is to see the TW (Trophy Wife) upon arrival in Bangkok for 3 nights, then proceed to Pattaya for basic fun for 10 or 11 nights with maybe a day or two with the working girl. Then return to Bangkok for 3 nights for hopeful bareback sex with one or two horny girls who have gone without sex longer that I ever have, as well as possibly partaking in the Sukhumvet venues with gogo girls and FLers again. I will end my visit to Thailand by meeting up with the Thai GF for the final 11 or 12 nights where, hopefully this time, she will be a virgin no more. All told, it will be a full 4 weeks in the Land of Smiles!

Hey folks!

Landed in Bangkok in evening around 5 PM, immigration was easy due to less people took cab to pattaya for my hotel was damn tired to take a baht bus due to my flight delay.

Cab took 1300 baht and dropped me had a nice shower some food and then headed out to take a stroll around, didn't head WS yet but noticed very much of less music and noise in fact Pattaya is much quieter and low and the opposite I had thought may be that's cause of king's death anniversary as some bar girl told me while I was having a drink on SOI 6.

Took a walk ahead and searched TF came across a girl naming Mickey working in Ibar as a freelance so invited her to my room for ST as I was in no mood for LT due to my long travel haul!

The girl came into my room and was quite pretty gave me an amazing BJ followed by raunchy sex in multiple positions.

Girl was moaning a lot seemed fake to me though, strange part was after the act as soon as we finished she was into her mobile phone may be searching for some new clients but I guess should have waited to at least leave from my room still gave her 1500 as discussed earlier.

Anways the girl too told me that pattaya is quiet since last 2 days due to king's death anniversary I really don't know how long this will continue as I have plans to hit WS tonight though m hoping for better.

Apologies for a lengthy report will try to make it more subtle in the future.

Cheers!

Back in Pattaya! I arrived yesterday afternoon to a very quiet, but operational, Soi 6, and later to a very dead Walking Street but an active Beach Road.

I will be preparing my traditional reports soon, but will preface them by saying I just spent an interesting 3 days in Bangkok with a lady I met on Thai Cupid who would be THE perfect trophy wife. Almost. Next on the itinerary is my 10 days here in Pattaya, then it will be back to Bangkok to meet with one or two others I have met on-line for 3 days, then my last 12 or so days in Thailand will be spent with my Thai virgin GF in Phuket and possible some other places.

Just some quick observations: Rain is forecast for every day throughout the days and nights, but it has not yet interfered with me yet (for all of my 22 hours here). This morning, the forecast called for rain all day and night, but the sky stayed mostly clear in the morning, but afternoon rain seems more ominous. Who knows?

Yesterday, Soi 6 was devoid of music, but was otherwise business as usual. I will later have a report, as I said, but the only damper there was it was quiet and you could actually converse with the girls without having to shout over the loud music. I do not call that a damper. I call it welcome! Walking Street was dead. No music and the clubs and bars were mostly shuttered. There were lots of FLers out on WS as well as BR, but I did not participate. I am expecting to see things back to normal today, with the blaring and obnoxious music in full force. Pending the weather to some extent I suppose.

More later!

[ScottoD]

Yesterday early afternoon I went to Soi 6 for first time. Took a leisurely walk there but took Baht bus back. The Baht bus had a group of guys (presuming arab tourists) jump in and turned off Beach Road to drop them off, I hopped off and caught another. The group of guys took care of the driver so he paid me no mind and drove away, so even though we are talking about pennies, I did not have to pay twice. Not sure how to figure which buses go straight or which turn.

Anyway, despite expecting things to be closed in remembrance of the king, Soi 6 was wide open, tons of girls at each "bar". Walked by Ruby and Lisas, Lisas seemed to have good looking girls or at least the best non black uniforms but rembered reading about a not so great experience on here so skipped it, walked up and down and finally stopped to talk to a girl at Chillis, of course right away the touching and luring start, so I go in 300 to bar and 1000 for her. I guess standard.

Took me upstairs, and to the shower, basic, no shame as you walk outside the room to shower practically naked. Shower was ok, she was more attentive then the one today (next (Then we got right too it. She immediately started licking my balls, bbj and then got on top in squat position, she did reverse and then just the regular shit, took off condom, blew me again and then a little more fucking. I took a good long time to finish because it was shot 2 of the day. Paid her 1000 + 100 tip. Her name was Lot I think. Young, maybe 25, not gogo quality for sure but not bad either. I think her name was Lot or Lat.

After that I was wiped, walked around a bit, took a nap and decided to get dinner at this sushi buffet place called Tsunamis. I got there at 915 and it was closing at 10 but they didn't wanted to take any food orders after 930 - suppose to be a bufffet but you have to order plate by plate, It was 600 Baht or $18 which in US terms was ok but maybe expensive for Thailand. For $30 bucks at home there is a real buffet that blows it away and I know in Florida there are many in low $20's, so not impressed.

Ok, enough on the restaurant rant and back to mongering, as I walked back towards Areca I passed through LK Metro (around 10 pm) - it was so dark, I was literally scared walking through as it was my first time. Everything was closed. I walked a little further towards Areca and Papagayo and asked a few of the girls still sitting at the bars even though they were closed about stuff opening at 12 and everyone I asked said no, tomorrow things will open. Even though I was thinking they were wrong, I was not in mood to check so called it a night, I was ready for sleep. Still a bit jetlagged.

This morning I decided to try a massage and walked along Soi 11, tons of places but most of the girls outside were ugly. I stopped at this one called Jans right across from Honey 1, I made the newbie mistake of not being discreet when asking about boom boom. I was talking to an older woman who was either the mamasan or getting offended that I was asking about other girl. The one I thought was the best looking did not look away from her phone or make eye contact to me at all so I did not make the newbie mistake of picking her, instead I picked one at the end who gave me a subtle smile. She told me her name was Pat. Very cute face, body ok. She gave me a shitty shower that I had to ask her to join me. Then she had me lie on my back and gave me an ok oil massage, she turned me over and did the front, she than started giving me an amazing BJ that as this was my first shot of the day and being post massage made me almost finish so I had to unfortunatly cut that short. She then got on top and finished me off in unfortunately a short time but nevertheless it felt great. After she got a little cold and another shitty shower, gave her 1000 and left. Still have rest of day to enjoy and tonight I will be around LK Metro, might do a soapy.

I was pick pocketed by a ladyboy once. If they started grabbing at you like they want you, check your pockets.

This is likely happening when you encounter the LB hugging and pulling you.

Before that happens, prevent eye contact and looking at their direction.

If they come at you, refuse them politely.

My last trip my hands were covering my pockets as she was molesting my dick from the outside, end of day my valuables are still with me.

Cheers!

I would recommend avoiding 6/1 like the plague. The ladyboys are very aggressive especially if they are in groups. Some of them on 6/1 and elsewhere are expert pickpockets. Why even think of going there if you are not looking for a ladyboy?

May I ask what DHEA means? I've not seen that abbreviation before.

DHEA is a pro-hormone that occurs naturally in your body. Production of DHEA internally, declines after your 20's. It is readily available as a nutritional supplement without a prescription in the US. I can't imagine what it has to do with hair transplants. Its purpose is for anti-aging, treatment for depression or BPH, and it is thought to increase your testosterone level by preventing it from being converted into other compounds as you age. Its effects on testosterone levels makes it sought out by people who are body building or looking to increase sexual performance as they age.

May I ask what DHEA means? I've not seen that abbreviation before.

Dehydroepiandrosterone DHEA, also known as androstenolone, is an endogenous steroid hormone. It is one of the most abundant circulating steroids in humans, in whom it is produced in the adrenal glands, the gonads, and the brain, where it functions as a metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of the androgen and estrogen sex steroids. However, DHEA also has a variety of potential biological effects in its own right, binding to an array of nuclear and cell surface receptors, and acting as a neurosteroid and neurotrophin.

Changing the subject to soi 6/1, it is indeed a ladyboys only street but there's no need to avoid it like the plague.

If it's that important then go to a clinic and get a prescription. At least you know it won't be fake.

You can check GNC or Bear Gym. They sell supplements yet unregulated. Better off paying for doctor consultation and getting the real medicalstuff.

I don't mind paying for consultations. I have worldwide insurance with 80% refund on doctors' fees. I'd be more worried about the product being unavailable or the docs being uncooperative. I hope it's possible to develop some kind of relationship with doctors, provided the government doesn't keep doctors on too tight a leash. I've heard it could be near to impossible to get some drugs like a basic sleeping pill to help you sleep through a long haul flight. Recently I read about a Frenchman in Thailand being unable to find any vet willing to euthanize his terminaly ill dog. We haven't been accustomed to that degree of paranoia in Europe, at least not for patients above a certain age. The US may be different.

In unregulated outlets I'd be worried about the lack of continuous air-conditioning too.

I'm planning to have a hair transplant in Thailand before mid-2018 so a good idea would be to include regular DHEA prescriptions into the deal.

Changing the subject to soi 6/1, it is indeed a ladyboys only street but there's no need to avoid it like the plague. Female prostitutes in some countries can be a lot more pushy and physically aggressive than even ladyboys in Thailand. When walking those sois I'd be more worried about getting hit by traffic. Can one live years in Thailand without suffering some kind of road accident?

Maybe it is different in Pattaya but I have read and heard from girls who work in them that it will be business as usual for the bars in Bangkok, no ban on alcohol and no closures. The only thing different is they have been asked to turn the lights down lower, bring the volume of the music down (great!) and maintain a more subdued, less raucus party atmosphere on this anniversary of the King's passing.

Hey, last minute reversal from what I posted earlier. It has now been reported that Bangkok bars HAVE now received last minute closure notices for tonight until Midnight. Many bar owners in Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy were caught short on this and were already preparing for business as usual. It is possible a couple of places in those venues will quietly stay open. Strange that this was not better scheduled and planned.
